[Squirrel]

yikes ... that was destroyed ... Nats close the gap by 1.

[DrNeau]

Nolasco gives up another bomb.5-4 Twins. That was CRUSHED.

[David HK]

Yikes, I've got to let this game go.  Every time I check in, and devote a moment of attention. KRRRRACK!  

 

It's my fault.

 

I'm leaving now.

[DrNeau]

Wow. These HRs have all been destroyed. Nolasco is getting hammered.

[Squirrel]

Am looking forward to Brian's opening game game thread!

[DrNeau]

Nolasco walks Harper. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Zimmerman up again. Now let's see if Nolasco has made an adjustment...

[Squirrel]

Glad Rosie was there for that one!

[DrNeau]

Zimmerman hits an absolute LASER at Plouffe for the 2nd out.

Zimmerman hits an absolute LASER at Plouffe for the 2nd out. 

Um, what? He lined out to left.

[DrNeau]

Murphy chases a curve way out of the zone for the K.

[Squirrel]

 

Um, what? He lined out to left.

But yes ... it was a laser.

[DaveW]

Inspiring start by Nolasco.

[DrNeau]

Park strikes out for the 2nd time. Escobar grounds out to 2B.

[Squirrel]

And Murph is on with a hit ... 2 outs ... Bux up ...

[DrNeau]

Murphy with a nice liner over SS for a hit.

[Squirrel]

 

Inspiring start by Nolasco.

Hey ... it's better than what I ever expect. 

[Squirrel]

Ramos taking a few to the helmet today.

Zimmerman hits an absolute LASER at Plouffe for the 2nd out.

 

Um, what? He lined out to left

That is because Plouffe ducked!

[DrNeau]

Ramos is sure a tough dude. Respect him as a C. 

[Squirrel]

 

That is because Plouffe ducked!

Lol ... I would have, too, on that hit! But as I said ... glad Rosie was there for it.

[David HK]

Wow, Sher-Park Holmes is not solving the Mystery of the Disappearing Sliders today.

Okay ... now ... isn't it like 4 in the morning for you?

[DrNeau]

Really hoping Mauer can have a comeback year. He's showing more power to left center than in the past few years. The balls he pulls are still being hit right into the ground; but, if he could start driving the ball to right, they'd have to play him straight up. That would really make him dangerous.

[Squirrel]

Nice play, Dozier!

[DrNeau]

Dozier with an all-star play.

 

(I guess it's Beresford?)

[Willihammer]

Watching the WASN broadcast makes you appreciate Dickbert doesn't it?

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Nolasco is awful... Why is he in our rotation?

[David HK]

 

Okay ... now ... isn't it like 4 in the morning for you?

Consider the lameness of the humour--   yes, it is past the witching hour-  1:22 AM.   Haw!  Actually got up at 6AM today, had a couple of buds over (Red Wings fans) for breakfast and mimosas and watching the Wings/Wild game-  730 AM start.  Drunk by 8...  and still ticking!

 

[DrNeau]

Another HR. Totally crushed. OMG Nolasco needs to correct this... and fast.
